The Mintyboost has always been a Maker Shed favorite. It’s a simple soldering project that can come in very handy. My house lost power for three days this summer and this tiny kit kept me connected and watching Netflix movies in the dark. It’s a great way to keep the techie or phone addict in your life all charged up.

I am the Evangelist for the Maker Shed. It seems that there is no limit to my making interests. I’m a tinkerer at heart and have a passion for solving problems and figuring out how things work. When not working for Make I can be found falling off my unicycle, running in adverse weather conditions, skiing down the nearest hill, restoring vintage motorcycles, or working on my car.
